Xu Jiani stood next to her grandfather. Seeing her grandfather standing unsteadily, she hurriedly reached out to help him.
She raised her eyes and saw the white general sitting inside drinking tea. This white general was still as kind as last time, but he was wearing a dark green military uniform and had an indescribable sense of majesty.
Commander Bai's military cap was placed on the table, and next to him, a handsome young man sat.
In a lounge of tens of square meters, there were at least a dozen guards standing, some of them with stripes, obviously not ordinary soldiers. And they were all equipped with guns and stood straight.
The person chatting with Commander Bai across the coffee table was a middle-aged man who looked close to 50 years old.
Xu Jiani squinted her eyes, feeling familiar. She thought about it carefully, and she seemed to have seen him in the news... Oh, by the way, he is Song Guoqing, secretary of the provincial party committee of Southern Jiangsu Province!
Last time he inspected Ling'an Business School, he personally asked Zhao Ruyi to have dinner with him in the cafeteria!
Xu Jiani remembered it immediately!
She didn't expect that Zhao Ruyi's service club was just established, but the provincial party committee and secretary came to support it, and even a big shot like Commander Bai was invited!
Xu Jiani looked around the lounge for just two seconds, while Lao Jiangtou stood firm and recognized that the person opposite Commander Bai was the secretary of the provincial party committee!
"The ceremony will start soon. Please wait a moment while we go out to prepare." Zhong Xinyan smiled and exited the lounge.
Bai Dezhong, who was chatting with Song Guoqing, smiled slightly when he saw Xu Jiani helping her grandfather in. "Old man, you are here too."
When Song Guoqing saw Bai Dezhong greeting the old man, he also turned his attention.
The old ginger head was wearing a shabby military uniform from the 1950s. He was leaning on a cane and his face was red.
He had no idea that Commander Bai was coming this time. It happened that he was still at home and was delayed for a while getting dressed. Considering that Commander Bai had already arrived here, he actually came later than Commander Bai...
There's no room for Old Jiang Tou's old face. Isn't this deliberately staged?
"General Bai, old man, I didn't know you were coming." Lao Jiangtou wiped his sweat and walked towards Bai Dezhong.
He walked awkwardly, but after all he was a veteran who had returned from the battlefield. He had a strong psychological quality, and when he saw the general, he was not so frightened that he could not speak.
"Haha, I just arrived too!" Bai Dezhong glanced at Bai Ye beside him.
Bai Ye, who was wearing casual clothes, stood up immediately and gave his chair to Lao Jiangtou. His eyes glanced at Xu Jiani several times.
Xu Jiani didn't dress up deliberately, she just wore a very clean white shirt, but her skin tone was made whiter.
Bai Ye knew that this was Zhao Ruyi's woman, but everyone loves beauty, and it was not illegal to look at her a few times.
"Who is this..." Seeing that they seemed to know each other, Song Guoqing asked suspiciously.
"This is Xu Afu, the president of the Disabled Soldiers Service Association, a candidate recommended by Zhao Ruyi. He is also a fighting hero who participated in the war to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea." Bai Dezhong introduced.
Old Jiangtou was simply flattered when he heard Commander Bai personally introduce him to others.
"President Xu. This is our first meeting." Song Guoqing stretched out his hand towards Lao Jiangtou.
"Hello, Secretary Song!" Lao Jiangtou's palms were a little trembling as he shook hands with the provincial party committee secretary, but he was basically able to remain calm.
And this "President Xu" really made him feel like his status was suddenly elevated, but at the same time it made his heart tremble, lest he make a mistake.
"Wujiacun has been demolished now, has the elderly moved into new houses?" Bai Dezhong took Lao Jiangtou's thick hand and asked.
"Thank you, General Bai, for your concern. My daughter and I have moved into a new house." Lao Jiangtou replied in a decent manner.
"That's good." Bai Dezhong nodded, "Comrade Xu and I were both born in a hail of bullets. The veterans who fought in the war paid a lot for the country, but the government also has many things to take care of. Zhao Ruyi runs this disabled servicemen's service agency.
The intention is good, and I hope that Comrade Xu can manage things well and bear some pressure for the government and the army."
Bai Dezhong's words fell into Lao Jiangtou's heart, making him feel heavy and hot.
That time Bai Dezhong went to Wujiacun to express condolences to him, a veteran. Knowing that he was in poor health, he specifically asked those around him to pay more attention to Lao Jiangtou's medical treatment.
Therefore, the first few times Lao Jiang went to the military hospital to see a doctor, he received free treatment. This made him grateful to Bai Dezhong, but he could not find a chance to repay the favor.
"Don't worry, General Bai! Even if I, Old Jiangtou, give up my life, I will make a good start in this service agency!" Old Jiangtou said loudly, beating his chest.
"There is no need to give up this old life. You still have to take care of your health." Bai Dezhong laughed.
Song Guoqing couldn't help but laugh when he saw how honest and honest Lao Jiangtou was.
Xu Jiani also laughed. A few days ago, her grandfather said that she was not good. Today, General Bai said a few words, and she was full of confidence.
"You three, the ceremony is about to begin, please come outside!" Cheng Xi, wearing black and white professional women's clothing, walked in and said to the three of them.
"Let's go out!" Bai Dezhong lifted Lao Jiangtou's arm and took two steps, leading Lao Jiangtou outside.
Song Guoqing put down his tea cup, arranged his clothes, and followed him out.
There were loud gongs and drums outside, and there was a scene of celebration.
Crackling, crackling...
Thousands of firecrackers continued to glow, and smoke was everywhere.
Bai Dezhong took a deep breath. Although he had not been on the battlefield for many years, the smell of gunpowder smoke still made him miss it very much.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A shirtless burly man beat the big drum, attracting the attention of people on the street.
Many people didn't know whether it was the opening of a hotel or a shopping mall. Seeing drumming and lion dancing, they all came to watch the excitement.
There is not a single billboard on the five-story building from top to bottom. It looks plain and ordinary, and the people watching have no idea what it is for.
Bai Ye saw Zhao Ruyi and Liu Xia standing in the crowd outside and immediately went over.
Bai Dezhong suddenly grabbed him with his palm behind his back. He turned his head slightly and said in a low voice, "Marshal Zhao's granddaughter Zhao Yue'e has transferred to East Lake to study. You are her brother, so take good care of her."
"Oh..." Bai Ye nodded in agreement. He followed Bai Dezhong's gaze and saw a girl of high school age running towards Zhao Ruyi from a distance.
Following her was a young officer wearing the uniform of a major.
Bai Dezhong was promoted by the "Military God" Zhao Jinyun. Now his granddaughter is studying in Donghu City. Bai Dezhong cannot openly send more people to protect her, but it is not wrong to let his grandson have more contact with her.
Moreover, it is also beneficial for the younger generation to have a good relationship with them to consolidate the relationship with the elders.
Bai Ye has an upright personality and is brave and progressive. However, he is a little weak in interpersonal relationships. If he hadn't praised him, he might not have thought of getting closer to little sister Zhao Yue'e.
Leaving Bai Dezhong's side, Bai Ye quickly ran towards Zhao Ruyi.
"Why are you standing on the outside and not coming over?" Bai Ye ran to Zhao Ruyi and asked.
He and Zhao Ruyi conspired to build this disabled service society, so Bai Ye felt a sense of accomplishment. But in fact, it was Zhao Ruyi who actually contributed money and effort. Bai Ye only did it with his grandfather.
Give it a push.
"When we set up a service agency, we will run it independently. I'm not the main person. Let's just stand outside and watch the excitement." Zhao Ruyi said, holding her hands.
"I understand, you have to hide behind the scenes and let your girlfriend's grandfather show up in public." Bai Ye said straightforwardly.
Zhao Ruyi smiled and was noncommittal. Bai Ye's statement was a way of understanding, but since the service cooperative is an independent entity, his company only donates money and buildings and does not own the service cooperative.
Therefore, there is no need for him to appear as the person in charge.
"Brother!" Xiao'e ran over panting and rushed into Zhao Ruyi's arms.
Today was the weekend, and she originally wanted to go to Ling'an to find Zhao Ruyi, but when the car was halfway through, she realized that Zhao Ruyi had come to East Lake, so she hurried over again.
"Look at you running, you're almost flying." Zhao Ruyi touched her head.
"No! Grandpa won't let me show off my kung fu, otherwise I'll have to fly with my light kung fu!" Xiao'e raised her head and said proudly.
Bai Ye lowered his head and looked at this coquettish little guy, "You are Zhao Yue'e, I saw you in the capital!"
"I remember you too! You are Grandpa Bai's grandson, your name is... Bai Ye!" Xiao'e took Zhao Ruyi's hand, leaned against Zhao Ruyi and said.
"My grandpa asked me to take more care of you. If anything happens in the future, just come to me!" Bai Ye said, slapping his chest.
"I don't want to!" Xiao'e rolled her eyes, "If anything happens, I will find my brother!"
"I'm older than you, and I'm also your brother..."
"Don't call you brother!"
"You already called."
"Where did I scream?"
The two of them started quarreling with each other.
Bai Ye has the mentality of a child, and Xiao'e has the mentality of a child. Not only are they not harmonious, but they are tit for tat.
Zhao Ruyi ignored them and focused on the small square in front of the main entrance, which was the parking lot of the former Tiangong Club.
Among the bustling crowds, Shi Xuewei was wearing plainclothes and leading dozens of plainclothes policemen through the place. The provincial party committee secretary participated in this event in a private capacity. It was not an official government event, so it was not suitable to mobilize a large number of police forces, but it would not have happened.
Big problem.
After experiencing the hijacking case of Jinxing Kindergarten and the explosion case of Yunlang Boutique Hotel, how can there be a constant security situation in Donghu City?
"That's the secretary of the provincial party committee, right?"
"Who is that one in the green military uniform? He seems to have a high military rank."
As Bai Dezhong and the other three appeared, there was a small commotion and continued discussion among the crowd of spectators.
"The listing ceremony begins!" Zhong Xinyan took the microphone and announced.
Standing together with the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Military Region and the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Lao Jiangtou looked like a very important person. He was trembling as if he was dreaming.
But he still forced himself to calm down and forcefully uncovered a big red cloth on the left.
A white plaque with large black characters on it
Sunan Disabled Soldiers Service Agency!
Then, Song Guoqing stepped forward and took off a piece of red cloth.
The red cloth slowly slid down, revealing the large characters on the white plaque behind it.
Southern Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee Disabled Soldiers Research Center!
Big red characters! Very eye-catching!
Having the name "Provincial Party Committee" is equivalent to being linked to the official government, not just a non-governmental organization!
Finally, Bai Dezhong stepped forward steadily and took off a piece of red cloth.
Show the big words on the plaque
Southern Military Region Disabled Soldiers Liaison Meeting!
This is equivalent to having a military identity. Anyone who is familiar with institutional construction knows that the so-called liaison meeting has a small organization but great power!
Please give me a monthly ticket~~~(To be continued...)
